I wonder if the birds are subject to carrion regulations?

THEY STAYED AT THE WROHNG HOTEL!

Yeah that is pretty nuts to not think of Pudge as first ballot, he has most games caught ever, 7 silver sluggers and 13 gold gloves, league MVP, he has all the counting stats to back up a first ballot resume and even won a ring.

I’m a pretty casual baseball fan and I thought the sequence was just fine and filled with drama.

Manfred might say it’s driving fans away. I call it baseball, and he can fuck right off. That whole chess match was thrilling as fuck.

yea, but lets flesh out your strawman a bit there so it somewhat bears resemblance to what UConn is doing on this roll.

That game was ridiculous, though. It’s not often that a sixty-point deficit fails to properly reflect how overmatched the losing team was. Mississippi State came in as a 5-seed at 28-7; hardly slouches, but they got positively blown. off. the. floor.

Meanwhile, if the Red Sox were half as dominant as UConn, he would write a daily column about how it is must-see TV and how it’s great for the sport and would then somehow invoke “the children” into it.
